Why don’t we focus on technology for once? Don’t worry! I won’t talk about highly developed technology, but more about daily life technology. Let me ask you a riddle: it replaced posts, like text messages replaced phone calls in general communication. Have you guessed? Not yet? Well, let me help you: E-M-A-I-L! That’s it: the e-mail!
The most used communication way in the world…
Every day, thousands of e-mails are sent all around the world. Whether it is professional or personal, anything is now a reason to write a message and send it by clicking on your mouse. Every topic is tackled: the most unimportant and the most private one. So that with the development of hacking, you are now afraid that your private life becomes public. It’s the same with companies, which use e-mails as a way to communicate important information.
Moreover, smartphones don’t make things easier. Indeed, because hotspots are everywhere (in bars, restaurants, airports, universities…), it is simple for hackers to locate you and hack your e-mail account (or any other private data). And even changing your password all the time is not enough to protect it.
You need then a more efficient mean of protection! And this mean is called a VPN.
How to protect and secure your email efficiently?
VPN means “Virtual Private Network”. As I’ve told you earlier, you go online with a hotspot, all the information that concerns you leaks out: your Internet provider service, your passwords, the list of the websites you have visited, etc. Scaring, isn’t it? Besides, your computer is identified by an IP address on the Internet. So as you may have understood, a VPN will encrypt/hide all this data through a new IP.
Because the very first function of a VPN is the ability to change your IP address. Then, you make believe the others you come from Canada or Portugal, so you become anonymous. Consequently, only your new IP address will leak out.
And as I was telling you before, you become anonymous with the VPN. But it can also secure your Internet connection and finally, it hides what you are doing online.
